    This is a sermon I preached for a funeral for someone I didn’t know. The funeral was during the Christmas season.

    Funeral for Gertrude Kanan Introduction 2000 years ago, our world was a dark and gloomy place. It was dark politically, because the people were oppressed under the harsh Roman rule. It was dark spiritually, because it had been over 400 years without a prophet from God. When life seemed the most ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Meyers on Sep 4, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 2,388 views

    Is Katrina one way that God is cleansing the Earth of sin? Is it more important to make these assumptions, or to get out and help the displaced saints and draw the displaced lost ones to Christ?

    In the Bible, we read this passage: "And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; ...read more

    There are times when God seems distant and hidden to us. The psalmist reminds us of God’s greatness and where we can experience God’s presence in our lives.

    Psalm 19:1-14 “An Amazing God” INTRODUCTION As a child, I loved to play the game, “Hide and Seek.” I would spend entire summer afternoons hiding and seeking with five or six of the kids in my neighborhood. I gave up the game when I grew older, but I now find myself increasingly occupied with ...read more

    Are You He Who Is To Come? (Who Is Jesus?)

    Contributed by Spencer Homan on Dec 7, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,345 views

    This is a sermon that focuses on the true identify of Jesus.

    “Are you he who is to come?” “Are you he who is to come, or should we look for another?” The question itself seems harmless enough. A simple yes or no answer would seem quite sufficient for such a straightforward question. And yet, it was not… that simple of a question, and Jesus did not ...read more
